GHS Landscapes & Driveways Ltd provides turfing and artificial grass installation across Boston, Sleaford, Lincoln, Grantham, Newark, Spalding, Nottingham and Stamford. With over 15 years of experience in landscaping and outdoor improvements, we can help you create a neat, usable lawn as part of a standalone installation or a wider garden transformation.

Natural Turf or Artificial Grass?

Both options can completely change the appearance of a garden, but they suit different priorities. Natural turf provides the appearance and feel of a traditional living lawn, while artificial grass offers a consistent surface without mowing and many of the seasonal maintenance requirements associated with real grass.

We can discuss how you use your garden, the amount of maintenance you are comfortable with, existing ground conditions and the surrounding landscaping before helping you decide which option is more suitable.

Professional Turfing

New turf can provide one of the quickest ways to establish a fresh natural lawn. It is suitable for complete garden renovations, replacing worn or patchy grass and creating new lawn areas alongside patios, pathways and other landscaping.

Good results depend heavily on preparation. Simply laying turf over poor or uneven ground can lead to an inconsistent finished lawn, so the existing area needs to be prepared and levelled appropriately before the turf is installed.

Preparing the Ground for New Turf

Before laying new turf, we assess the condition and levels of the existing ground and prepare the area according to the requirements of the project. The aim is to provide an even growing surface and establish appropriate finished levels around paths, patios and other garden features.

Once installed, newly laid turf requires appropriate watering and care while the roots establish. We can explain the initial aftercare required to give your new lawn the best possible start.

Artificial Grass Installation

Artificial grass is a practical option for homeowners who want the appearance of a green lawn without regular mowing. It can work particularly well in smaller gardens, family outdoor spaces and areas where maintaining natural grass has proved difficult.

Modern artificial grass is available in different pile heights, densities and shades, allowing you to choose a finish that suits the appearance and intended use of your garden.

Correct Preparation for Artificial Grass

A successful artificial grass installation depends on the construction beneath the visible surface. The area needs to be prepared carefully to create a stable, even base and allow water to drain appropriately.

Depending on the existing ground and specification of the project, preparation can include excavation, installation and compaction of suitable base materials, formation of the required levels and installation of appropriate edging before the artificial grass is fitted.

This preparation helps reduce movement and uneven areas while giving the completed lawn a more consistent appearance.

Drainage & Garden Levels

Drainage should be considered when installing either a natural or artificial lawn. Existing ground conditions, surrounding surfaces and changes in level can all affect where rainwater travels after the work is completed.

We consider the relationship between the lawn, patios, paths and surrounding garden when planning the installation so that appropriate levels and drainage can be incorporated where required.

Artificial Grass for Family Gardens

Artificial grass can provide a useful outdoor surface for gardens that receive frequent everyday use. There is no mud created by the grass itself during wet conditions, and the surface remains visually consistent throughout the year.

Where children or pets regularly use the garden, the choice of product, installation method and ongoing cleaning requirements should all be considered. We can discuss the intended use of the space when planning your installation.

Maintaining Artificial Grass

Artificial grass requires less routine lawn care than natural turf, but it is not completely maintenance-free. Leaves, twigs and other debris should be removed periodically, while brushing can help keep the pile looking consistent in frequently used areas.

Spills, dirt and pet waste should also be dealt with appropriately. Regular basic cleaning helps maintain the appearance and condition of the finished surface.

Maintaining a Natural Lawn

A natural lawn requires regular maintenance to keep it healthy and looking its best. This typically includes mowing, watering when required and other seasonal lawn care depending on the condition of the grass and soil.

For homeowners who enjoy the appearance and feel of real grass and are happy to maintain it, professionally laid turf can provide an excellent foundation for a traditional garden.

Lawns as Part of a Complete Garden Transformation

Turf and artificial grass can both be incorporated into larger landscaping projects. A new lawn can be combined with patios, pathways, fencing, garden walls, decking and other features to create a more practical and coordinated outdoor space.

Planning these elements together allows us to consider levels, drainage, access and transitions between different surfaces from the beginning of the project.
